  Sandy Nessing is a As a Chief Sustainability Officer with over 18 years of experience at American Electric Power (AEP) and 27 years in the utility sector, I have led transformative initiatives to significantly advance our sustainability and ESG strategies. My leadership has been pivotal in pioneering environmental & social justice considerations and developing a Sustainable Finance Framework, which secured 1.45 billion in green bonds. Through innovative finance and sustainable investment frameworks and stakeholder engagement, I have consistently delivered shareholder value while navigating complex regulatory and public policy landscapes, establishing AEP as a sustainability leader. My reputation is built on collaborative and inclusive leadership, adept at driving change, fostering partnerships, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. In my role, I have orchestrated corporate ESG/Sustainability strategy and governance, driving robust ESG disclosures and safeguarding the company's reputation. I have spearheaded compliance with the SEC Climate rule and led membership in key committees, ensuring alignment with industry standards and regulations. My expertise in stakeholder engagement has resulted in a nine-year record of zero shareholder proposals in the proxy and extensive engagement with prominent investor groups like Climate Action 100+. These efforts have bolstered investor confidence and fostered strong stakeholder relationships, contributing to AEP's enduring success. I advocated for the inclusion of environmental and social justice (ESJ) considerations in all business activities, enhancing reliability for and engagement with underserved communities. By establishing the first ESJ policy and governance framework, these considerations are being operationalized across the enterprise. Additionally, I developed and led a Just Transition strategy to address the socio-economic impacts of fossil fuel plant retirements, including the creation of economic diversification plans, a community task force to build local capacity, and a playbook to support future Just Transition initiatives. This work reflects my commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and economic development, ensuring continued growth and positive impact on society.
